Why do liberals love Islam so much?

For those who were politically active 30 to 40 years ago, this is nothing new.

Back then liberals were squealing bobby soxers for any tinhorn Communist dictator who set up shop in any third world shyte hole on the planet.

It reflects an inner yearning to dispel with the competition that liberty provides, and live under a tyranny that provides not equal opportunity, but instead equal results.

Why should a brilliant chemist receice more of life's rewards than someone with a PhD in Interpretive Feminist Dance?

Communism is gone, Putin won't bring it back. Islam is the next best thing.
 
Well when it all implodes as it is surely likely to do so, in the next few years you might care then!

If SA explodes it's as likely western influence ( the young foreign students from SA) going up against the old Wahhabists is part of the equation.

SA never had it's Arab Spring
 
why do I care about saudi society? It's a fundamentalist state-it's a Kingdom,and it's keeper of the 2 mosques.
as long as SA is a regional allie,and not supporting ISIS ( I realize many Gulf states used the Qatar banking system to do so) I'm fine with a Sunni alliance considering the vast expansionism/hegemony of Iran

I get your point: we can't do anything about Saudi culture, so its pointless to try. Besides, our foreign policy is America first.

Fair to call it Trumpism, but it's actually realpolitik.

Thank You. Like it or not SA is the big regional power in the ME that is capable of checking the Iranians.
The oil price depression is really hurting SA ( while we boost the Iranian economy by Obama)
and we need them if we are going to have any say left in the ME. Obama really screwed us over.
Eqypt and even Israel under Obama had to tilt towards Russia.

The internecine hatred between Iran and SA causes a lot of rifts, but yes realpolitik means we put on our big boy shoes and deal with the situation -and for that we need a working relationship with SA.
 
While the US and other western countries constantly appease the loathsome Saudi regime and its financing of insane versions of fundamentalism, we are going to have terrorism. And, unlike Iran - which is in many ways a modern culture distorted by the West's destruction of political choice and driving opposition into the Mosque - Saudi Arabia is still firmly in the Middle Ages.

We should take consideration with any alliance there. Sunnis are the crazier muslims that formed ISIS and AQ and carry out attacks on the west. Shias tend not to. In fact most terrorists have not came from Iran or Iraq in the last 20 years or so. Most come from SA and Sunni areas where hatred for the west is taught daily.

Then again Iran is a state sponsor of terror and trying to develop nukes. We are a rock stuck in a hard spot again.

I still don't get it. Utter freak outs and panic attacks because Trump Admin is TEMPORARILY stopping visas from failed states and states that have a terrorist problem. (Kind of seems like common sense actually.)

Would libs be freaking out over a Christian or Jew ban? I doubt it.

So why does the left love Islam and Jihadism? Can someone finally explain it to me? They rape murder and subjugate women. Not the "radical" ones but under Sharia law, which is enforced by the state. Being gay is a crime. Gays are executed and thrown off buildings. Where's the liberal outrage? Where's the protests? Where's the freakouts?

There are beheadings being conducted right outside Mecca. If the Vatican was conducting beheadings libs heads would EXPLODE with outrage.

Why the double standard?

I know their argument; "Its only a few bad radicals, most Muslims are great people." OH really? Let's look at some polling data.

78% of British Muslims want the Danish Cartoonist PUNISHED!
99% Of Afghan Muslims want Sharia law.
98% of Saudis want Sharia law.
YNet: One third of Palestinians (32%) supported the slaughter of a Jewish family, including the children:

Libs want our country broke just like in Great Britain. Muslims there have multiple wives and plenty of kids in separate houses and have no problem taking all the welfare money from taxes paid for by the hard working Brits. Life is good for the Mussies, just like so many welfare kings and queens here...taken care of from cradle to grave.

You've raised my spirits today good sir. I feel as though I can go though life worry-free that I'll never make as stupid of a strawman argument as this.

I thought that was well funny and sadly more than a little true.

Why is that a straw man?

What a lot of unutterable Nazi bullshit! We are not broke, very very few Muslim men have second families, and they contribute hugely more in taxes than they take out, as well you know.

And the British feed their young daughters to the Muslims to placate their sexual desires in a feeble attempt at appeasement.

Rotherham was the tip of the iceberg.

British "men" need to turn in their man cards.

You know you are lying. Consult your conscience and give it up! The exploitation of young women is general everywhere, and we have arrested plenty of 'Christian' rapists too - but at least our local sexism hadn't landed is with a Great Fart sooner than someone female. As I pointed out earlier, the extreme racism of the Bradford area was what allowed this to go on a bit longer than in most places, but as I pointed out, you wouldn't have heard a word of this if we hadn't caught them. Getting nervous enough to beat our hollow chests over there, are we? Get on with your knitting, there's a good lovey :)

Yup. Britian and Europe were conquered from within. Muslims moved in, and began overpopulating them. Pretty soon Europe will look a lot like the middle east. Islamic and toiled in sectarian violence.
 
'Wish' for 'whish', etcetera etcetera. The key point is that living in targets for fanatical western attacks, some Muslims grow fanatical. Here in Britain, few religions last long, but a few unemployed characters with nothing to think about are like the ex-Papist Irish who went in for the IRA. People soon get over it unless picked on and bullied by the trumps of this world.

You "caught them"?

It went on for twenty years, with the police terrified of arresting any Muslims due to career repercussions.

And subsequent reports indicate it is still underway.
